1973 Triumph Cam Assembly

Trying to rebuild my 73 and ran into a problem with the cams.

I need to line up the keyways on the timing gear, which secures the cams.

Below is a picture of A gear with a single keyway. It certainly doesn't go on the 73. The 73's timing gear has 3 keyways, and I need to know which one is the one to use. The manual says that the original keyway should be used, but which one is that? There are some factory markings including, the timing mark, my best guess is I use the keyway adjacent to this timing mark?

Thanks.

Hi zab329 and welcome this is what you are after I think!, if you have not got letters on your pinions,ignore the ones in picture. put keys closest to marks on pinion.
Red represents keys.

I hope them sprockets are not on your 73..?
